RISING STARS The Christchurch United Academy under-13 team won both the
Mainland Football Premier League and the Christchurch International Cup this
year.

United FC Academy
CHRISTCHURCH United FC Academy
has had an unprecedented run of success
with their under-13, under-14 and
under-15 teams all claiming Mainland
Football championships in premier
divisions.
The success of the academy’s teams
has been an affirmation of the player
development work. The professional
coaches at Christchurch United
have made this a priority over the
past six seasons at the state-of-theart
Christchurch Football Centre in
Yaldhurst.
Academy director Colin Williamson
said the investment in quality coaching is
really starting to pay off. This investment
was initially made through the
Christchurch Football Academy and then
the Christchurch United Football Club
after the two merged in 2016.
“Our club president Slava Meyn started
the academy programme back in 2014 to
develop the best possible players for New
Zealand Football. And their individual
and team success at the local level is a
sign that we are on the right track,” said
Williamson.
The Dutch coach arrived at the start
of the current season after a long career
as an academy coach with professional
clubs like PSV Eindhoven in the
Netherlands. He has further improved the
structures and planning of development
programmes for Christchurch United’s
players and coaches.
Williamson works closely with
Christchurch United first team coach
Fernando Lambert, and both coaches also
look after one of the academy teams.
Williamson said the basis of each team’s
success has been the technical and tactical
development of players.
The under-13 and under-10 teams
recently won the Christchurch
International Cup and the success has not
gone unnoticed.
“We are being approached for several
tournaments in New Zealand and
abroad, so it will be good for our teams to
challenge themselves against other clubs
as well,” Williamson said.

SKILLS: Riley Caswell has received
glowing reviews.
The under-13 side will play in a highcalibre
Auckland tournament next
month.
Two older Christchurch United
players have already been exposed to
overseas experience, with 17-year-old
Riley Caswell and Hamish Cooper
spending time with Australian club
Sydney FC.
Caswell received glowing reviews after
his week with the club’s first team, while
Cooper is currently training with the
Sydney FC Academy.
Williamson is pleased Christchurch
United can offer players opportunities
that may not have been available a few
years ago.
“And then it is up to the players to take
those opportunities. Our academy can
prepare the players the best we can, but
it will be fascinating to see how many
of these youngsters will be able to push
on and represent Canterbury and New
Zealand in the future.”
